“Ana is grateful for her work and the time Mi Esperanza invested in her.  She looks forward to continuing to learn and becoming better at her job”

Ana lives in Mololoa, a community on the outskirts of Tegucigalpa. She lives and cares for her elderly mother and four children. In 2014, Ana signed up for the Mi Esperanza sewing course, which was offered at the community center in her village. Ana was a great student and made a lasting impression on our instructor.  

Ana at a glance

  • Married

  • Children: 4

  • Community: Mololoa

  • Mi Esperanza Course: Satellite Sewing 

Before learning to sew, Ana did not possess any marketable skills and, therefore, did not have a job. She did, however, volunteer with World Vision in her community. As much as she enjoyed giving her time to a worthy cause that helped her village, she dreamed of being able to contribute financially to her family's well-being and her children's education and to have the resources to better care for her disabled daughter. 

With that ambition in her heart, Ana completed the Mi Esperanza sewing course, hoping it would open doors to find work. Shortly after her graduation, the Mi Esperanza production house needed some temporary workers for a large production order. Because she excelled in her classwork, the Mi Esperanza sewing teacher called her to work on the job. She began as a temporary employee but quickly advanced to a full-time position due to her dedication and kind spirit. With a donation from Mi Esperanza of a sewing machine, Ana also works from home.

Now, Ana has reached the goals she set for herself. All of her earnings go toward the care of her disabled daughter and the education of her other three children.

2025- Today, Ana's daughter, Cynthia, graduated from the Mi Esperanza cosmetology program in 2024. She was offered a full-time job at the salon where she interned. She is excelling and can now help Ana financially. Ana works part-time in the Mi Esperanza sewing maquila. She and Cynthia share the care responsibilities for Ana's disabled daughter.

Their family is now more financially stable, and Ana's younger children attend school.
